Marty's Ƀent Issue #818: Great Bitcoin primer I highly recommend that you read this piece from Yassine and share it with anyone you know who may be interested in learning more about Bitcoin.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #698: Bitcoin mining porn We interrupt our coverage of the end of the world to bring you a much needed respite from the madness.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #508: Perspective is key It's fascinating to see just how long Bitcoin spent under $1,000; 2,360 days or 73% of the time that has past since mid-August 2010, which marks a few weeks after Bitcoin's first official pump (from $0.008 to $0.08, what a fucking pump).
Marty's Ƀent Issue #459: A glimmer of hope The truth shall set us free, freaks. The first step is noticing and admitting that we have a problem. The next is helping people become more economically literate so they understand the implications of monetary experiments that affect every human on Earth.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #409: Constrained v. Unconstrained A thought-provoking essay that serves as a great framework to use if you need help questioning your assumptions and putting them in greater perspective.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #400: I'm going to do it... Let me be clear, I have no problem with individuals in a free market collaborating to bring something to the market. I do not think there was anything unethical about the launch, in fact, it is fairer than all of the launches one witnesses in this wasteland of a "space".

Marty's Ƀent Issue #389: Death of a death spiral Let this be a lesson to any of you out there who may have fallen for the FUD; Bitcoin works as designed. A self-correcting distributed system that works to ensure its security by adjusting to demand for bitcoins.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #347: History of Central Banks The most poignant part of this thread is at the end when Yassine quotes Mircea Popescu, claiming that any country subjected to private central banking is not really sovereign and that Bitcoin, and Bitcoin alone is sovereign.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #335: More on mesh networks & TxTenna In Bitcoin, we are constantly and actively working to decentralize development, mining pools, chip manufacturing, custody, full node users, the way transactions are broadcasts and relayed to the network, and much more.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #331: Bitcoin's scripting language I think the above thread from our friend Yassine is a great introduction and high-level description of Bitcoin's scripting language. Though it is pretty technical, again, I believe it is important to at least have a semblance of an idea of how this stuff works.
